Word. Granted it's only based on 31 games but Bledsoe was All-Star bound.
Not so fast only because Lillard got snubbed lol and I'd imagine Bledsoe would've been behind him

He would have made the All Star Game if he played in the East (and been healthy)

That's a lot of ifs

I don't see any scenario where Bledsoe makes the All-Star team playing on the team he was playing on

Regardless, if you want to say his stats are inflated, he put up pretty similar numbers for the past two years on teams that contended for playoff spots

Alright, yeah he wouldn't have made a crowded West team.
 
But if you look Lillard's and Bledsoe's stats, they're pretty comparable. Dame scores a little more but he's less efficient and is obviously a worse defender than Eric. And Lillard is starting to get the superstar tag. I'm just saying that if you're projecting somebody to be "better than Bledsoe" then that is a really, really good player.

Also a GM's job isn't just moving around players. They have a day job, handling finances and business operations, scouting, personnel decisions etc.

Bulls supposeldy trying to trade Rose and Butler this summer. I don't know how I feel about this. Trading Butler puts the Bulls in the top 8 draft order next year. Bulls supposedly holding out for Wiggins, no way that actually happens but it would be fantastic

No one is going to give up anything of value for Rose

I don't want Butler in Minnesota. I like the young trio of Towns/Wiggins/Lavine. Absolutely love the starting lineup of Rubio/Lavine/Wiggins/Dieng/Towns. Adding Butler for Lavine, Dieng, and some picks does more for right now but I think something special is brewing in Minnesota, especially on the offensive side of the ball. I'd rather let them grow defensively, even if it takes an extra season.
 
At the same time, I suppose they worry they can't keep them all, but still. Stand pat. Draft Buddy Hield to add a shooter.
